Letter Carrier Food Drive Postponed


The 28th annual Letter Carriers’ “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive, scheduled for Saturday, May 9, has been postponed to a later date to be determined. 

The annual success of the food drive is largely due to the efforts of letter carriers, other postal employees, postal customers, community volunteers, and many more. Their safety is of paramount importance. Much of the United States is currently under shelter in place or similar advisories due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and public health authorities such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued guidelines that include social distancing. 

The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and its national partners, including the U.S. Postal Service, are committed to rescheduling the largest single-day food collection in America later in 2020.
